Fabulous experience

It was a fabulous experience, the really amazing place and guide Styven Olortiaga, a kingpin, a finished knowledge of the Atacameño culture and more specific data of the place. Very entertaining, we really enjoyed it all of us who went, we even discussed it later, as it was largely because of the sympathy of the guide, which connected us as a group.

Differentiated experience!

An amazing and complete experience! Different from other agencies! Our guide was very nice, took great photos and explained everything right! Pretty punctual. Surely my experience would not have been the same if it had not been with Andes Travel!

Great tour, bad provider company

The tour itself was really interesting, particularly the petroglyphs The reason I have removed 2 stars is because of the administration of the tour: I didnt hear anything from the provider and eventually messaged them myself at 6pm the night before the tour (i.e. 13 hours before start time). I had to chase for everything and was left on read when I asked what time I could expect to be back at my hostel since I was going to the airport that afternoon. The person in charge of the whatsapp is also a bit rude I'd recommend this tour, but with a different provider

Good tour with fantastic photographic views

The guide was very fun (and an excellent photographer!) and had good english. Overall the tour was great, but we lacked a bit of history and knowledge about the stome carvings. Beautiful nature and well suiting for anyone that wants good pictures.

The human drone

Excellent guide... Like forgetting John the human drone. It would only improve breakfast, as compared to others it is a little poor in relation to variety and non-counting.

Surreal place

We did the walk to the Valley of the Moon with Andes Travel. Of note is the driving of the tour by the guide Juan Fleitas Ortellado, who clearly works with the utmost care, explaining historical details, curiosities, the local culture, and all this in 3 languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish)! It is more than fair to record this praise for this great professional. I evaluate as very good/excellent the transport with air conditioning in optimal condition (this is very important) and the refreshment included in the ride. I recommend it!

Great experience!

Our guide Juan was knowledgeable, friendly, and thoughtful. He explained everything clearly and always made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Special thanks to the driver, Juan, and everyone at the agency who help me find my lens cap!
